It's hard to say - you don't break down the remaining 1459 in fees but incl fees and the 3k you put down and subtract out the 595 lease initiation fee, looks like you're at around 800 below invoice including flex cash (subtract out any mandated license/dmv fees and that improves on that figure). Does the 199 include sales tax?

Check post 5550 - he just leased a sport with a sell price of around 21.5k.

I think his deal was same payment as yours but with less than 400 due at signing. The dealer you are working with should be able to do better. Do you have other dealers nearby so you can get some competition going?

Also Honda just announced dealer incentives that might result in sweeter deals the last 10 days or so of this month if you can wait.

What do you think of a Honda lease, Accord LX, $252 with tax and $550 down? I don't have the specifics, but I don't plan on buying the car at the end so I am not interested in the price of the car, although I know it is a factor in the lease. Also, does the EX have a smoother ride compared to the LX? I know Honda has changed the transmission which is supposed to make the ride bumpy. I wonder if the 2014 LX is better than the 2013 LX in terms of the drive.

Hey Everyone, got a quote on a 2013 V6 EX-L Accord coupe (no navi) for $339/month, 39 months, 12K miles, with tax and first payment up front (so approx 1490 total). Can anyone tell me if this is a decent deal? I figure thats basing it on a sale price of around 29k for the car (MSRP is about 31250). Thx!

Hi, i'm trying to get the best deal possible on a lease for a 2014 accord sports trim. My Dealer sent me an email quoting me an MSRP of $25,305 and an invoice price of $22,125. He stated with 900 down my lease payment would be around $322. From looking through this forum, that seems to not be a solid offer. He wouldn't inform me of what number values he's using, but stated to come in and we could discuss things further. It seems people are getting .00073 MF and a residual of about 57%. Are these numbers accurate? If so, what should a lease payment for this car be without any sort of down payment? A comparison with 15,000miles/yr & 12,000miles/yr would be helpful. Thanks!

@Jasonb88 - I am not into the sports trim (I am boring), but the internet manager I was dealing with offered me 2013 LX-S. For a basically same car as the 2014 LX-S, $900 down
only $179/month. If you need more miles, I already asked and they said they will agree for $20-25 more per month.

This deal I got is from a NJ dealer. They are the only 2-3 dealers I may be enticed to come back to. The rest are not easy to deal with. If you are in the area, I can refer you to the same internet manager I got this from. If you wish, we can do a group dealing as I try to get an EX-L (lease or purchase I do not care) at a sale price of $25K or less.

@Jasonb88
According to my calculations using the MSRP and selling price you provided, I come up with a pre-tax payment of $233.76 with 12K/yr and $247.45 with 15K/yr. The MF is .00073 and residual is 58% for 12K/yr. and .00073 and 56% with 15K/yr. Does the purchase price include the acquisition fee? If not, that will increase your payment by about $17 dollars if you roll it in.
I think you can do much better than your current offer.

@srs1974
Now a residual of 13K with $5051.89 total lease cost is also probably a typo if it is over 27 months lease with 10K miles / yr. THAT IS TOO GOOD TO BE TRUE.

Check your notes with the dealer.

The more knowledgeable people on this forum must be able to access correct ALG residual for a 2014 LX Accord with 22,500 miles after 27 th month, but it cannot be $13K only.
$13K-14K might be for something after 36 months and after 36,000 miles.

Hi Guys - anyone in NJ who has gotten a sale price for a 2014 EX-L (CVT 4-cyl only, no navigation) below $25K yet? I do not care if it is purchase or lease. If lease and the capitalized cost will imply a sale price of $25K or less, please let me know which dealer. Thanks.
- p.s. I got near that target, but so far only from Boston area. NJ dealers still tough...

I forgot residual value..but here is sale price and breakdown given for Accord 2014 LX.

If the sale price to lease company is $19073 - regardless of the other combinations of months or mileage and cost per month, then go for it.

Leases are for some reason presented to us buyers in a too complex manner. (Buyers probably can be blamed for this - since we typically focus on monthly or down payment, etc.)

Assuming there are no outrageous bank fees ($595 are typical in NJ).
Assume further that the residual value is high enough that at the end of the lease, you may be tempted to keep the car as you can resell it for that high residual value.

Then there are only 2 factors here that really matter: sale price to lease company and the interest rate.

The interest rate is low nowadays. Even if you ask your local bank or credit union for a financing on the new car . So the leasing companies will always be around the low interest rate 1.7 to 1.9% nowadays perhaps.

Which makes only the sale price to lease company the only real factor. $19073 is about $4500 below MSRP and $2500 below Dealer's invoice. for an Accord 2014 LX.

The mere fact they disclosed to you the sale price to leasing company makes them worthy. That is why even my schedule is painful I will try to take a day off these next few days and get back to that dealership. FWIW they are not difficult to deal with compared to others I have sat down with in NJ

Hi, I was recently quoted the following for a 2014 EXL V6 sedan in NJ. I apologize in advance for not having most of the details. I wasn't sure what all to ask for from the dealer.
12k/36month lease
Selling price: $27,700
Due at signing: $1559.63 with 35 payments of $328.63 left
Due at signing: $0 with 36 payments of $363.77 left

I had asked for quotes to be inclusive of all fees/taxes and these are the numbers that I was offered.
